Custom cheese paper is printed wrap sized for cheese, used by cheesemongers, delis and cheese brands to send product home in a wrapper that carries their name. TBPB prints it with no minimum order and backs every quote with a price-beat guarantee: show us a written quote for the same specs and we beat it.
One ply or two: pick by what you sell
Plain one-ply paper, usually a coated or waxed sheet, works for cheese that goes home the same day or next day. It is cheaper to make and easy to print. Two-ply cheese paper pairs a coated paper outer with a porous inner layer, so the wedge can breathe while the outer slows moisture loss. That structure is why specialist shops use it for washed-rind and bloomy cheeses that sit in a fridge for a week. Cheese ages in the wrapper, so if your customers keep cheese for days, the structure matters more than the print. Tell us how long your cheese is typically kept and we will point you to the right build.
Sheets or rolls
Pre-cut sheets suit a counter where staff wrap fast and the same few wedge sizes come up all day. Rolls suit shops that wrap everything from a small piece of goat cheese to a big wheel, because the length is cut to fit. Measure the largest piece you sell, wrap it by hand once and note how much overlap you need. That sheet size is the one to quote, not the average wedge.
Printing the paper so it reads as yours
A repeat pattern or a scattered small logo looks better than one big centred logo, because the wrap is folded and creased and a single logo ends up cut in half. Keep ink coverage light. Large flood areas of dark ink can feel heavy on paper that is meant to be handled and tucked. Kraft-toned and off-white stocks make a one- or two-colour design look finished without a full-colour print. If your logo has fine lines, request a proof first.
Food contact is your responsibility to confirm. TBPB prints the artwork you supply on the stock agreed at quote, and you should check with your own regulatory adviser that the paper and inks suit direct or indirect contact with cheese in your market.
Pairing it with the rest of the pack
Cheese paper is usually the inner wrap. A kraft sleeve or a gift box finishes the pack for a cheese board set, and loose butter paper rolls or custom tissue paper cover softer items alongside the cheese. See the full custom food boxes range for the outer pack.
One honest trade-off: printed paper is not a substitute for a label. Weight, price and allergen information still have to go on the pack somewhere, and a sticker on the finished wrap is usually simpler than trying to print variable details onto the roll. Design the print area so a label has a quiet spot to land.

Frequently asked questions
What is custom cheese paper?
It is wrapping paper made for cheese and printed with your own branding. Many versions use two layers, a coated paper outside and a porous layer inside, so cheese can breathe while moisture loss slows. You can order it as sheets or rolls.
Is there a minimum order for custom cheese paper?
No. TBPB has no minimum order, so a small cheese counter can order one sheet to test a design or thousands for a full season. Quantity affects the quote, not whether we accept the order.
Should I choose sheets or rolls?
Choose sheets if you wrap a few repeat sizes quickly. Choose rolls if sizes vary a lot and staff cut to fit. Wrap your largest piece by hand, check the overlap, and use that measurement for the sheet size.
Is custom cheese paper food safe?
That depends on the stock and inks, and you are responsible for confirming food contact suitability in your market. TBPB prints the artwork you supply, so check the paper and inks with your own regulatory adviser before ordering.
What design works best on cheese paper?
A repeat pattern or small scattered logo, in one or two colours. Wraps get folded and creased, so one large centred logo often ends up split across a fold. Keep ink coverage light and ask for a proof of fine detail.
Can you beat a quote I already have?
Yes. Send a written quote for the same size, structure and print specs and TBPB will beat it. That is our price-beat guarantee, and it covers cheese paper along with every other product we print.
